Volcano of Santorini (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Volcano of Santorini?
What makes it 30% Baby-Friendly: Infants ride free and can stay on the shaded boat deck to view the volcano, but the rough landing, extreme sun, no diaper tables and unsafe trail make on-island time difficult.
Positives:
- Infant lap seat: Babies 0–4 ride free on most tours and sit on a parent’s lap with a life jacket.
- Restroom access: Most boats and the landing pier have basic restrooms but no changing tables.
Challenges:
- No island shade: Nea Kameni has no natural shade on trails or landing area—bring sun protection.
- No baby facilities: There are no nursing rooms or changing tables on boats or the island.
